We are Ken and Dawn Ellis. God put us
together about 33 years ago and we have been happily married (no
lie) for the past 32 years. God has also blessed us with two perfect
(well almost!) children (make that young adults)
Scott
and
Krista
.
(click on their names to check out their Home Pages).

On October 17th, 1999, our daughter, Krista, was joined in marriage to
Khristopher Cox.
We invite you to look at pictures of her
Bridal Shower
and view their
Wedding Pictures
.
They are now living in a beautiful new house they bought in Clermont (near
Orlando), Florida. Khris works for a Toyota car dealer in Orlando and Krista
works for a new home builder in Clermont.

Our son, Scott, married Tracie Crawford on March 3rd, 2001. Pictures of their
Wedding are available on our
kodachrome.org
site as well as Scott's
stormcrow.org
site.
Scott and Tracie are living in Concord (near Charlotte), North Carolina. They
also bought a new house close to the Charlotte
Lowe's Motor Speedway.
You can find more pictures of their new home on
Scott's Home Page

We (Ken & Dawn) are both originally from
York
,
Pennsylvania. We both went to
York Suburban High School
and we both worked for General Telephone
in York. Ken worked in the Switch Room maintaining the Telephone
Switching Equipment and Dawn was a Telephone Operator.

One day, Ken was driving home from work
and happened to notice Dawn standing at a bus stop, in the rain,
waiting for the bus to take her to work. Ken decided to stop and
offer her a ride. Dawn accepted.

Dawn wrote Ken a very sweet thank you note
for giving her a ride and pinned it to the bulletin board at work.
Unfortunately, Ken was away at a Telephone Company training class
the next two weeks, so all the "guys" got to see the note before
Ken got back. The guys teased Ken a lot about the "sweet" note from
the telephone operator, so Ken decided that if they're going to
talk about him and Dawn anyway, he may as well ask her out for a
date. That was the beginning . . .
Guess you could say "we're
a telephone connection!"

After getting married, we lived in York for
about 10 years, then we moved to Boca Raton, Florida, where we
have enjoyed the past 22 years.

Ken and Dawn both worked for
Siemens
, a German based Telephone Switching Equipment
manufacturer until recently. Ken had worked there 22 years and Dawn 12 years.
However, due to the slow economy and even slower Telecom equipment sales, Ken
and Dawn are no longer encumbered by careers. Ken put together a Web Page to
help X-Siemens people keep in touch. It is called
Siemens Telecom Friends
.

For many years, we were members of
Advent Lutheran Church
in Boca Raton. A few years ago, we have moved to First Christian Church. On
Saturday evenings, we also worship at
Shepherd's Promise
, a small Home Church in Deerfield Beach.

While we worshiped at Advent, Ken was very active in the
technical ministry at Advent Lutheran Church - the Sound And Light Team (SALT).
He also ran sound for Advent's Contemporary Christian music group called
"MAGIC" (Music Aimed at Growth In Christ).
Dawn sang with MAGIC , helped with technical setup and teardown, and danced
with a group called "Children of the King". While serving the technical
ministry at Advent, Ken wrote a
Sound And Light Training Manual
that many churches have found to be helpful in solving their sound, lighting,
and video challanges.

In addition to our own Home Page, Ken has
also put together Web Pages for:

Dawn is very active in
Gold Coast Via de Cristo
. Her Criscio Reunion Group have given her the name
"Palanca Queen" because of all the beautiful gifts (Palanca) that
she designs and her Reunion Sisters help make for the Via De
Cristo candidates and team. Recently, Dawn has served on several
Ocean Side Emmaus
teams.

Someday, Dawn hopes to start a Web Page
devoted to Palanca ideas. She would like to include pictures of
the Palanca her and her Reunion Group have made over the years
with step-by-step instructions and materials lists. Someday . .
.

We have a Tonkinese cat named Chloe.
Tonkinese is a blend of Siamese and Burmese.

We'd love to hear from you. If you have a
moment, send us a quick
EMail
.
Ken likes to talk about sound, lighting, and video equipment for Churches.
Dawn likes to talk with people involved in Via de Cristo or Emmaus.
